Serverless Postgres in the Cloud.
About us
Neon is building open-source cloud-native PostgreSQL. Our architecture separates storage from computing, allowing for stateless and Serverless Postgres. We’re a well-funded startup with deep knowledge of Postgres internals and decades of experience building databases. Our storage layer is written in rust and cloud control plane is written in Go.

Last night, we brought together 20 technical co-founders and leaders in the Agentic AI and Dev space for an industry dinner. There were so many great discussions–I walked away with a few key takeaways: - Agents need new infrastructure: models, evals, browsing, permissioning, agentic purpose built APIs - SWE agents need ACI (agent computer interface) - Everything stateful should have branches: browsers, databases, eval runtimes and an API service across libraries. - Every stateful component needs copy on write branching - noted by Cursor team, Replit built a custom storage system and Neon delivers branching for the database. The energy and interest were off the charts—we’ll need a bigger venue and more time for the next one! Big thanks to the leaders from Anthropic, Vercel, Wordware (YC S24), Harvey, Cleric, 11x and everyone else who joined. Special shoutout to our co-hosts, Glenn Solomon from Notable Capital and Amjad Masad from Replit. If you're building in the space and want to join the next dinner, reach out. More to come!

To "move" your environments, start syncing data from RDS to Neon—e.g. by automating nightly dumps via GitHub Actions. 𝟐 - 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 $$: In Neon, you can use branches—instant database copies. When you need a fresh environment for a new feature, you simply create a Neon branch. These branches automatically scale down to zero when not in use, saving you money. 𝟑 - 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐃𝐒: When you’re ready, migrate the changes back to your production database on RDS via SQL scripts or Prisma. 👉 Learn how to get started: https://lnkd.in/gf6cG6Pi

Here’s the story on how we accidentally created the perfect DB for agents. If you're building Agent AI devtools, get in touch, would love to connect. The Replit Agent launched. It goes beyond code and provisions infra, including Replit Postgres databases backed by Neon. The scale is massive. New databases every few seconds. You need to see it in action. The app it creates is instantly live and operational. Replit did all the work here, we just ship the Postgres. But for us from the database side, it's exciting seeing how perfect a few Neon features are for Agents. 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭: 𝐎𝐧𝐞-𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 - When you spend hours writing code, five-minute deploys are no big deal. - When an agent generates the same code in seconds, a five-minute deploy sucks. One thing we got from separation of storage and compute is 1 sec database creates. For developers, this was nice. For agent workflows, it’s a hard requirement. 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝: 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐨 Imagine creating a new RDS instance every few seconds. You’d be broke at the first invoice. With Neon, databases scale to zero based on inactivity and wake instantly. Many DBs created by agents might never get queried again after 5 minutes—on Neon, that’s OK. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝: 𝐀𝐏𝐈 One of our early customers, Retool runs hundreds of thousands of DBs on Neon. Pretty much immediately they needed new API endpoints to manage them: track and limit usage, control config, etc.. Sometimes we wondered: Are we building features for one customer? Turns out agents need the same things, in fact the simpler the API, the fewer tokens needed to control it. SOTA is moving fast, hard to say how Agents will interact with infra 6 months from now, but we’re on board. 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐌 𝐦𝐞 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤.

As part of Autoscaling GA, we made a major improvement to the algorithm: We now estimate working set size and autoscale to keep it in memory. Result: Up to 8x improvement in throughput on read-heavy workloads. Read about how it works here: https://lnkd.in/eE8srng9

How Retool built RetoolDB using Neon: Architecture requirements - One Postgres instance per user - Minimal costs for idle databases - Easy management End result - 1 engineer can manage 300K+ DBs (yes, you read that right) - Neon API handles all database tasks - Idle DBs scale to zero This video 👇 is a snippet from a full session on scaling database-per-user architectures in Amazon Web Services (AWS) with Himanshu Bhandoh, Bill Tarr, and Raouf Chebri.
